24 thoughts on “Piers Morgan interviews Alex Jones….sorta”

One part of our society argues that our killing each other, regardless of the weapon of choice, is natural and inevitable (survival of the fittest, law of the jungle, etc.). The other part argues that our killing each other needs to stop. Our species’ march toward civilization is characterized by countering the laws of the jungle such as the biggest or strongest male having the choice of mating partners. We are not yet done with this march. We are, as a species, fresh out of our caves and still have the instincts of an endangered species that must be afraid of predators including the tribes across the river and we still have the instincts of predators ourselves. What we need to strive toward is a civilization that has completely conquered our individual fears and where we can lead safe and caring and productive lives. The possession of any weapons is an indicator that we have a long way to go.

At the time of this linking, the comments tend to be against Jones for a variety of reasons. They are not in support of Morgan, however. So…Jones does NOT appear to be representative, no matter what ill informed opinion middleman has.

Oh, he has quite a web presence. But he got the signatures because the press kept reporting about the petition. Once that hit Drudge, it took off. And Morgan is irritating so people thought, “Why not?” No one expects it to go anywhere. Jones is a conspiracy nutjob. He’s only right like a broken clock.

His following is quite small actually. His biggest attraction is when he gets into conflict with the TSA.

I seldom watch Morgan, but happened to slide in there while surfing.
This Jones person acted like he was on something. I thought he was going to throttle Piers at times. He’d rise from his chair, his index finger aimed at Pier’s eye. I thought: OMG, this is going to end in a killing.
Best thing was when Piers let the guy run on and on, proving his lack of sanity.

Lots of other people than just those on the left think that Glen Beck is an A-hole. I am one of those. Remember, I watched him a lot. I have seen Beck act almost that bad. Almost being the key word.

How do you think Beck is different? (not necessarily on the topic of guns)

Speaking of which…I need to say something here…..there is this misperception that those who want some reasonable gun safety laws are anti gun. That is not ture. Plenty of gun owners feel things have gotten out of hand and that no one has an absolute right to own any weapon they want.

We are tired of the Gun Hobbyists turning this into a binary problem. There are pleny of folks who feel that there needs to be moderation.

I understand why people are opposed to abortion being totally ok up until the moment of birth. Absolutely. the question of abortion rights is not a binary problem and there are all sorts of caveats involved. The same should be true of gun safety legislation.
